One of the highlights of our time together was teaching you all Drama in Year 9. It was a real privilege to teach the whole year group and learn about you that way. You might remember that at the end of our time in those classes I got you all to complete a memory square.

One of the things I really wanted to do at the end of the year was write you all a card. I feel that I’ve got quite personal things I want to express to you all – I’ve got memories with you all and I treasure them. Finding the time to write a card for everyone just didn’t work out – but instead I offered you all the opportunity to stop by me in the Dean’s Room during your exams to see your memory square so I can share the words I might have written on a card in person. Alternatively some of those memory squares appeared in this tribute to our time together: a tribute to the memories we will keep forever.
